I missed seeing everyone at the @thekhronosgroup face-to-face meeting this week but I guess attending remotely had some benefits? #opencl #sycl #kittiesofkhronos

Want to experiment with the new command buffer mutable dispatch extension right away? My command buffer emulation layer now supports this extension and should work with most OpenCL implementations. github.com/bashbaug/SimpleOp… #OpenCL

I also recently added command buffer emulation layer support for out-of-order command buffers for OpenCL implementations that support out-of-order queues. The same repo has sample applications that demonstrate how to use both new features. #OpenCL

If you need help debugging and tracing your command buffer applications, the OpenCL Intercept Layer has full support for both the base command buffer extension and the mutable dispatch extension. github.com/intel/opencl-inte… #OpenCL

I’ve been back at work for two weeks and I’m happy to report the new office assistants are working out great.

There's room for better GL/VK perf (benchmarks next week), but as a developer card, the A380 at $139 is a bargain... @openclapi 3.0 on open-source stack, @IntelSoftware oneAPI ecosystem for testing and porting work is great, SYCL & rest of software ecosystem around it.

Managed to squeeze in one last sabbatical hike before heading back to work next week. #desolationwilderness

Epic road trip complete! 5000 miles, 34 nights (32 in a tent), 9 national parks, one flat tire 😥, countless memories. Pic from yesterday at Crater Lake.

Oregon friends, we are driving down the coast today, starting at the Washington border. Anything we should be sure to see (or eat/drink 😀) along the way?

Thanks for the Arc shirt @IntelGraphics! Got here just in time for sabbatical and I wore it today on our hike today in Great Basin National Park. #intelarc #IamIntel #grba

I've been experimenting recently with OpenCL installable interception layers. This is a relatively recent addition to the OpenCL ICD loader, similar to Vulkan's installable layers. It's been a lot of fun and it's been working well. #OpenCL

I ultimately ended up implementing a "Command Buffer Emulation" layer that functionally implements the provisional cl_khr_command_buffer extension. It has a few restrictions, but it's enough to run my simple samples and even passes CTS tests. #OpenCL github.com/bashbaug/SimpleOp…

I'm not going to stop working on the OpenCL Intercept Layer - there's simply too much well-tested functionality there that's not worth rewriting - but it's great to have layers as a first-class tool in our OpenCL toolbox!

Being a good maintainer (or any other kind of technical leader) requires three things: technical competence and the ability to trust yourself without becoming an ass. Most people have one of these, some have two, few have all three. 🫤 Fortunately, the later two can be learned.

This is always a fun part of the conference. I hope you’ll be able to join us! #IWOCL #OpenCL #SYCL
Replying to @simonmcs
Panelists include @neilt3d @bashbaug @ProjectPhysX @alycm, Balaji Calidas from Qualcomm, and Nagy-Egri Máté Ferenc from Stream HPC. I'll be chairing. Bring along some interesting questions to put to the panel! @IWOCL @thekhronosgroup #OpenCL #SYCL
